How to fold an origami dumpling

Fold the square in half, then fold the top corners behind twice to round it into a half-moon. Draw the little pleats along the curved top.

You need: 1 square sheet, pale cream or beige on one side, and a dark pen. Easy, 3 steps, about 4 minutes.

Steps

  1. In half. Coloured side up. Fold the top half behind, so you have a long rectangle.
  2. Round the top. Fold both top corners behind on a slant.
  3. Rounder. Fold the four new little corners behind too, so it's a plump half-moon.

Yum!

Draw curved pleats along the top edge, where the dumpling was pinched shut, and a line under them for the seam.
